ESRT (2001) from SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! by Whatever, Dad

16 pages worth of poetry i can no longer decipher or understand:

tectonic plates grow at the same rate as my fingernails,
but i couldn't scratch a mineral and name it in my hand

all the rocks
and the hills erode, still
the rocks and hills erode
around me to become another kind

but the rock that i know now
don't know squat about the
thousands of white dwarves, clustering in the sky
o how they cluster in the sky

and i gladly opened my
test paper to the boy who sat on my right hand side
so that he could confirm
what type of sediment would sink first to the bottom of a body of water

earth science is my
favorite science. how can you
not fall in luv? * * * rocks * * *
